Blogely Reviews

So Blogely is closing its operations from the end of October 2024. Pity.

I always tell my team to research, but in practice it's very time consuming. Blogely comes to the rescue with its research tool! Me and my team have become so much more productive because of blogely. One of my best purchase in 2022!!

It’s one of the best content writing apps that I've purchased so far at AppSumo. Blogely is an amazing content management system that can help you create blogs faster than ever before. It has everything I need to produce high quality articles with SEO features, so they're easy to get indexed and ranked by Google. With Blogger, I can easily publish my content directly from Blogely on my WordPress blog without having to go through any extra steps. Overall, Bloggely is a great blogging platform for bloggers and website owners looking to easily create, manage, and publish high-value content. If you want an easy-to-use content creation app that saves you time and effort, you should definitely take a look at Blogely.

Secondarily, Genn's support is awesome. He is directly involved with helping you if you need any kind of assistance and he listens to your suggestions and feedbacks to enhance the app. It's a no brainer! Five taco LTD.

Blogely is a nice idea - to have all the necessary tools in one place to help with writing blog posts.
As I'm starting to write a blog I thought this would be very useful.
There are some nice tools, like the article SEO checklist, but overall, I've been finding the system way to buggy to be helpful and in fact it can be a bit of a liability.

The owner, Gennady, seems to be generous with his time, but I can't help feeling they'd be better off keeping support documents up to date rather than fighting fires individually.

Also, the other person I was messaging at Blogely didn't seem to like problems or suggestions and tried to insist the problems were down to my "theme". I just use the Elementor Hello theme. I'm not sure that can be blamed for everything.

These are some of the problems with the Blogely system currently:

- At the moment, the advanced features, like "Summary" don't work (although they still appear in support documents)
- The support documents don't match up to what's going on in the app
- The workflow presented in the intro video, where you move across tabs, no longer corresponds to the app. Now tools are in different places.
- Getting set up wasn't the easiest, but Gennardy helped and we did get there
- The photo resize tool doesn't work because my photos were too big!
- There's no ability to choose the target size of the photo being resized
- It's not clear in the app which options relate to the published article vs. how they appear internally within Blogely
- Deleting photos from the Blogely library doesn't always work.
- Even when I've deleted a "featured image" it's still posting back to my WP site
- If I make changes on WP, Blogely doesn't always pick them up when I try and import. Blogely doesn't seem to import featured images.
etc.

I'm going to wait a little bit before I refund. I really want Blogely to work well and reliably but at the moment, it's not very useable for me.

Wow! This is an outstanding product, and this lifetime deal is a must have!

The features that I list below are so strong that I hope the developers don't lose sight of them as they branch out into other features.

The standout features that are absolutely outstanding are:

- Writing application
- Importing:
- Import from WordPress application connection
- Import via URL
- Import via Google Drive
- Import via File (PDF or HTML)
- Import via Paste
- Customization workflow checklist WITH user access permissions assignment capability at the task level - this is incredible attention to detail!
- High level view of SEO keyword utilization score
- Asset Library
- Import your own images
- drag & drop upload
- compress or resize
- convert to .jpg or .png
- Use recent images
- Pixabay image or video
- Image URL
- Content Optimization
- especially for doing on-site SEO at point of publishing
- being able to add the various meta data at point of publishing is a major time savor and ensures those tasks are not forgotten
- Publishing
- That's what this tool is "at heart"
- Easy to integrate and set up
- Love the author profiles
- Plenty of channels to distribute to
- Workspace
- Organize content with Folders
- Add team members
- User Access & Permission settings
- Client Access

There is a little awkwardness in learning how to navigate and use the GUI. However, the learning curve is short and low.

I haven't used several of the other features, yet.

Personally, I'm not interested in the SEO Features:
- Keyword Research
- SEO Heatmap

There are other tools on the market that excel in keyword research. Yes, it would be amazing if Blogely can create a keyword tool that can replace those tools, but - for me - my needs in that area are very high. If you only need a sufficient keyword research tool, then I do think it meets that expectation.

I just hope that the Blogely developers don't sacrifice the quality of the writing and publishing tools in their pursuit to build a keyword tool.

One last point: I personally would like it if the implementation of the plagiarism checker was more like the way that jasper.ai implements CopyScape.
